What constitutes a domestic partner for health insurance?

Answer 1

Generally, the eligibility criteria is set by the individual employer that has voluntarily offered domestic partner coverage. There is also another set of criteria set by local (and in some cases state) governments who offer domestic partnership registries. The two set of criteria may vary.

Generally the criteria are:

1. Both parties must be unmarried.
2. Both parties must live together.
3. Both parties must be financially interdependent.
